Animalia - Graeme Base

About Animalia

Within the pages of this book
You may discover, if you look
Beyond the spell of written words,
A hidden land of beasts and birds.

For many things are 'of a kind,'
And those with keenest eyes will find
A thousand things, or maybe more -
It's up to you to keep the score .

A final word before we go
There’s one more thing you ought to know:
In Anamalia, you see,
It’s possible you might find me
